Psalm 19

Gods Glory in Creation and the Law

To the leader. A Psalm of David.1 The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament* proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard;
4 yet their voice* goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.

In the heavens* he has set a tent for the sun,
5 which comes out like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy, and like a strong man runs its course with joy.
6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them; and nothing is hidden from its heat.

7 The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul;the decrees of the Lord are sure, making wise the simple;
8 the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;the commandment of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes;
9 the fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever;the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;sweeter also than honey, and drippings of the honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
12 But who can detect their errors? Clear me from hidden faults.
13 Keep back your servant also from the insolent;* do not let them have dominion over me.Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
